Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for somebody whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, when someone has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to have success whenever they return to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and individual counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
