Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain certain obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to someone who has a short history of substance abuse for example, but will certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if a person has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to have success whenever they return to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
