Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for a person who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for somebody whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed whenever they return to such conditions every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services six or seven days each week on either a part-time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
