Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehab setting which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for somebody who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if a person has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to succeed should they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services five to seven days per week on either a part time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
