Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain certain responsibilities and elements of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for somebody who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For example, if someone else is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any treatment efforts to have success if they return to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
