Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to somebody who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will most definitely not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. For example, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to have success whenever they return to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some cases.
