Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for a person who has a brief history of drug abuse as an example, but will most surely not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to have success if they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual counseling, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days each week on either a part-time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
