Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to achieve success should they return to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part-time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some instances.
