Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to anyone who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for an individual whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For example, if a person has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment efforts to succeed whenever they return to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
