Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain certain responsibilities and elements of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential treatment program which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For example, when someone has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to achieve success whenever they return to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
