Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of treatment provided in an inpatient or residential treatment program that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for anyone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for someone whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to succeed if they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
