Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for a person who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for an individual whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if a person is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to have success if they return to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services six or seven days each week on either a part time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some cases.
