Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain certain responsibilities and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential treatment program that is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for somebody who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to succeed should they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
