Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for anyone who has a short history of substance abuse for instance, but will most definitely not be sufficient for a person whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if a person is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to have success should they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
