Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to maintain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to someone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone else is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success should they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
