Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential treatment program that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for somebody who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for an individual whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if a person is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to achieve success whenever they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services five to seven days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
