Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to a person who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed if they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
