Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for somebody who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will most surely not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success if they go back to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 5 to 7 days each week on either a part time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
