Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most surely not be sufficient for a person whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if a person is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success if they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services five to seven days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
