Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for anyone who has a short history of substance abuse for example, but will certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to have success whenever they return to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services five to seven days a week on either a part time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some instances.
