Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to sustain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For example, when someone has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment efforts to succeed if they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
