Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for somebody who has a brief history of substance abuse for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for a person whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success should they return to such circumstances each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs 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.
