Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for someone who has a short history of substance abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, when someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to achieve success whenever they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services five to seven days a week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
