Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for anyone who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will most definitely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if a person is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed whenever they return to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
