Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for someone whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehab efforts to achieve success should they go back to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
