Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehab setting that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to someone who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to achieve success should they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one 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 schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
