Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of treatment provided in an inpatient or residential rehab program that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for a person who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for somebody whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if a person is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to have success if they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
