Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for a person who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. As an example, if someone else is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success should they return to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
