Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to sustain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to someone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will certainly not be adequate for an individual whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. As an example, when someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment efforts to have success should they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services six or seven days each week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
