Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain certain obligations and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success if they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part-time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
