Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to somebody who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to succeed if they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services five to seven days per week on either a part-time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some cases.
