Outpatient treatment gives rehab 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 shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential treatment program that is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed if they return to such conditions every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some instances.
