Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for a person who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for somebody whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. For instance, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success if they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part-time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
