Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential treatment program that is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone else has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to have success whenever they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part-time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
