Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to maintain certain responsibilities and elements of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehab program which can be much more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for anyone who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if a person has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to have success whenever they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days each week on either a part time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
