Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential rehab program that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to someone who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for a person whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if a person has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to have success should they return to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
