Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain certain obligations and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for a person who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for a person whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, when someone has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to succeed should they return to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
