Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for anyone who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success should they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual counseling, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
