Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for anyone who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For example, when someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to achieve success if they return to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services six or seven days a week on either a part-time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
