Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential treatment program which can be much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most surely not be sufficient for somebody whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if someone else is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to have success if they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days each week on either a part-time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
