Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for anyone who has a brief history of drug abuse as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for someone whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. For instance, if someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to succeed whenever they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some cases.
