Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain certain responsibilities and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most definitely not be sufficient for a person whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if someone has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed should they return to such circumstances each day. 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 a week on either a part-time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
