Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to someone who has a brief history of drug abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. For instance, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to succeed should they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services five to seven days each week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
