Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for a person who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for an individual whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, when someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment efforts to succeed if they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services five to seven days each week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some cases.
