Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehab setting that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for someone who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will most surely not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if a person is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to succeed should they return to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling 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.
