Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for somebody who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will most surely not be sufficient for an individual whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. As an example, when someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to succeed if they return to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days each week on either a part time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
