Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential rehab setting which is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for somebody who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone else has been physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to succeed whenever they return to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
