Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for an individual whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if someone else is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment efforts to achieve success should they return to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some instances.
