Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting that's significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for someone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most surely not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success should they return to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services five to seven days a week on either a part time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
