Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to someone who has a short history of substance abuse for example, but will certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment efforts to have success whenever they go back to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services five to seven days per week on either a part time or full time schedule for 1 month or longer in some cases.
