Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential treatment program that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for anyone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most surely not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, if a person is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success should they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
