Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential treatment program that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to anyone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment efforts to succeed should they go back to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services five to seven days per week on either a part-time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
