Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for someone who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success should they return to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days each week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
