Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for someone who has a short history of substance abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for a person whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. As an example, when someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success whenever they go back to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days each week on either a part time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
