Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential treatment setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to someone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will most definitely not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, if a person is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed should they go back to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full-time schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
