Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the amount of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential treatment program that's significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to anyone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success whenever they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some cases.
