Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain specific obligations and elements of their way of life while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for a person who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will most surely not be sufficient for a person whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if someone else is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to succeed should they go back to such conditions every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some instances.
