Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. For example, if someone else is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success if they return to such situations each 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 six or seven days each week on either a part time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
