Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will most surely not be adequate for somebody whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if a person is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment efforts to achieve success whenever they return to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part time or full time schedule for 1 month or longer in some cases.
