Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for somebody who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for a person whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success if they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part-time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
