Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to somebody who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for an individual whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For example, when someone has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to have success should they return to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services five to seven days per week on either a part time or full time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
