Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of treatment provided in an inpatient or residential rehab program which is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to anyone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any treatment efforts to have success whenever they go back to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part-time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
