Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain certain responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for someone who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will most surely not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to succeed whenever they return to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services five to seven days each week on either a part time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
