Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be ideal for someone who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for a person whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone has been physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to have success whenever they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and individual therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days each week on either a part-time or full time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
