Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain certain obligations and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for a person who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehab efforts to achieve success whenever they return to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
