Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for anyone who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if a person is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to have success if they return to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
