Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance 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 degree of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be ideal for somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. As an example, if a person is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to succeed should they go back to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
