Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment provided in an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for somebody who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success should they return to such conditions every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, along with 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 1 month or longer in some instances.
