Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for a person who has a brief history of drug abuse as an example, but will most surely not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone else has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to have success if they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
