Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to someone who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will most surely not be sufficient for an individual whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. As an example, when someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment efforts to have success if they return to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
