Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain certain responsibilities and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to someone who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. For example, if someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to succeed whenever they go back to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
