Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for an individual whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to achieve success if they return to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
