Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for somebody who has a brief history of substance abuse for example, but will most surely not be sufficient for someone whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if a person has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed if they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
