Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most surely not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. As an example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to achieve success whenever they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual counseling, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days a week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some instances.
