Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for someone who has a short history of substance abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for an individual whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to succeed should they go back to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
