Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to have success whenever they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services five to seven days per week on either a part time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
