Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that's significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for someone who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will most definitely not be adequate for somebody whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things which trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if a person is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success whenever they go back to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and individual therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services five to seven days each week on either a part-time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
