Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain certain responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for someone who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for someone whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if a person has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success should they go back to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual counseling, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days each week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some instances.
