Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential treatment program which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for somebody who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. As an example, if someone else is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to have success if they return to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
