Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which can be significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehab needs go beyond that which 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 that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to succeed if they go back to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part-time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
