Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment provided in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for anyone who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, if a person is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to succeed if they go back to such conditions every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services five to seven days a week on either a part time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some instances.
