Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain certain obligations and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will certainly not be adequate for a person whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. For example, if a person is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success if they return to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days each week on either a part time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
