Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential treatment program that is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for somebody who has a short history of substance abuse for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for a person whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to achieve success should they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
