Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehab program that is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to anyone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to achieve success if they return to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
