Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that's a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for a person whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to have success if they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
