Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for someone who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to achieve success if they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
