Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehab program that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to somebody who has a short history of substance abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to succeed should they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 5 to 7 days each week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
