Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to succeed should they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 5 to 7 days each week on either a part-time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
