Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for a person who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for an individual whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success should they go back to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
