Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehab program which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to succeed if they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
