Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential treatment program that's much more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to succeed should they return to such circumstances each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some instances.
