Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for someone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment efforts to achieve success whenever they go back to such circumstances each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy 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 instances.
