Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's much more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to a person who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will most surely not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if a person has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to have success whenever they return to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
