Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be ideal for somebody who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will most surely not be sufficient for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehab efforts to achieve success if they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
