Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most surely not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any treatment efforts to achieve success whenever they go back to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, as well as 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 basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
