Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehab setting that is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to anyone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment efforts to achieve success if they go back to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some instances.
