Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that's significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for someone who has a short history of substance abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, when someone has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed whenever they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services five to seven days a week on either a part-time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
