Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to sustain certain responsibilities and elements of their life-style while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehab program which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for a person who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if someone else is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to achieve success whenever they go back to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual 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 thirty days or longer in some instances.
