Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab program which can be much more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for someone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. For instance, if someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed if they go back to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
