Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain certain responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehab program which can be a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for someone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For example, if someone else has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to have success whenever they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
