Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain certain obligations and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for a person who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for a person whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to achieve success whenever they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
