Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for a person who has a brief history of drug abuse as an example, but will most surely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if a person has been physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to have success should they return to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one 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 30 days or longer in some cases.
