Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehab program that's much more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for somebody who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to achieve success should they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part time or full-time schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
