Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to maintain certain obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for anyone who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will most definitely not be sufficient for somebody whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to succeed should they return to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services six or seven days each week on either a part-time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
