Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential treatment program that's a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to a person who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most surely not be adequate for somebody whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. For example, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to succeed should they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
