Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehab setting that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for anyone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most surely not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success if they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days each week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some instances.
