Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential treatment setting which can be significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for anyone who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will most surely not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to succeed if they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 5 to 7 days each week on either a part-time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
