Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that's a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for someone who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success if they return to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services five to seven days each week on either a part time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
