Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to sustain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehab program which is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to anyone who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, if someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to have success if they return to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
