Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for a person who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will most definitely not be sufficient for a person whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if a person is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment efforts to succeed if they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
