Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab program that is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to a person who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for a person whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if a person is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment efforts to achieve success should they go back to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part-time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
