Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain certain responsibilities and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that's a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to a person who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if a person has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to have success whenever they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services six or seven days each week on either a part time or full time basis for 1 month or longer in some instances.
