Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for somebody who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if a person has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to have success should they go back to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs 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.
