Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehab program that is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be ideal for anyone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to succeed if they return to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
