Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for anyone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will certainly not be adequate for an individual whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success if they go back to such circumstances each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, 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 schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
