Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to someone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will most surely not be adequate for a person whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if a person has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success if they go back to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some instances.
