Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential treatment program that's a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be ideal for someone who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for an individual whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For example, when someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to have success if they return to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services five to seven days each week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
