Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone 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 whenever they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, as well as 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 1 month or longer in some cases.
