Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for anyone who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will most surely not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if someone else is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment efforts to have success whenever they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services five to seven days a week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some cases.
