Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be much more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for anyone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to succeed should they return to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual counseling, along with 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 30 days or longer in some cases.
