Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. For instance, if someone has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to succeed if they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual counseling, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some cases.
