Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential treatment program which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For example, if someone has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to have success whenever they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
