Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. As an example, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success should they return to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
