Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for someone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if a person has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success should they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services five to seven days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
