Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and elements of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for somebody who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for a person whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone else is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to have success if they go back to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and individual therapy, in addition to 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 thirty days or longer in some cases.
