Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to anyone who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for someone whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to achieve success if they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
