Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which can be much more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for somebody who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. For instance, when someone has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success whenever they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services five to seven days per week on either a part-time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
