Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for anyone who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for a person whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, if a person has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment efforts to succeed whenever they go back to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part-time or full time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
