Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting that is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to a person who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most definitely not be adequate for an individual whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to have success should they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services six or seven days per week on either a part-time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
