Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehab program that's much more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for anyone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most definitely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to have success if they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
