Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehab program which is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for a person who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will most surely not be sufficient for someone whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to achieve success if they return to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
