Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehab program that's 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 almost certainly not be sufficient for someone whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if someone else is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success should they go back to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
