Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehab program which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for a person who has a brief history of drug abuse as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things which trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to have success whenever they go back to such circumstances each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some instances.
