Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehab program that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for anyone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most surely not be sufficient for somebody whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to have success should they return to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some instances.
