Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which can be much more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for anyone who has a short history of substance abuse for example, but will certainly not be adequate for somebody whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if a person is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success if they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs 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.
