Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential treatment program that is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be ideal for someone who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. As an example, when someone has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success whenever they return to such conditions every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some instances.
