Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential treatment program which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for someone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if a person has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to succeed if they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services six or seven days each week on either a part time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
