Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to somebody who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will most definitely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. By way of example, if a person is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to succeed if they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services five to seven days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some instances.
