Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for somebody who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will most surely not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their drug abuse are purely 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 rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success if they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
