Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most surely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed if they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
