Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for anyone who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone else is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to achieve success whenever they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part-time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
