Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for someone who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will most definitely not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. For instance, if someone else is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment efforts to achieve success if they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some cases.
