Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for somebody who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for a person whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to succeed whenever they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
