Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for someone who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to succeed whenever they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part-time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
