Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehab program which can be a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for anyone who has a brief history of substance abuse for example, but will certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For example, if someone else is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any treatment efforts to achieve success should they go back to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services five to seven days each week on either a part-time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
