Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential treatment program which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to somebody who has a short history of substance abuse for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. For example, when someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed whenever they return to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days each week on either a part time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
