Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to a person who has a brief history of substance abuse for example, but will most surely 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, when someone has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success should they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services five to seven days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
