Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential treatment program that is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for somebody who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will most surely not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to achieve success whenever they go back to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
