Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if a person is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to achieve success should they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
