Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain specific obligations and elements of their way of life while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehab program that's a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to anyone who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for an individual whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if a person is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success should they return to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual counseling, along with family counseling 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 instances.
