Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to maintain certain responsibilities and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential treatment program which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to anyone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things which trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success should they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part-time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
