Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of treatment provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that's a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for anyone who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to succeed should they return to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
