Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to maintain certain responsibilities and elements of their way of life while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to a person who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to have success if they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part-time or full time schedule for 1 month or longer in some cases.
