Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehab setting which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for somebody whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For example, if someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to have success should they go back to such conditions every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
