Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to anyone who has a brief history of drug abuse as an example, but will certainly not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, when someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to succeed if they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services five to seven days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
