Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain certain obligations and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for somebody who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for someone whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if a person is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to achieve success should they return to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services five to seven days a week on either a part time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
