Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential treatment program that's a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to anyone who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to succeed whenever they return to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part-time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some instances.
