Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to maintain certain responsibilities and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to somebody who has a brief history of substance abuse for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for someone whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, if someone else has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success if they return to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
