Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain certain responsibilities and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For example, if someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success whenever they return to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part-time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some instances.
