Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to sustain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be ideal for a person who has a short history of substance abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for a person whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. For example, when someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed should they return to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
