Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for someone who has a short history of substance abuse for example, but will most surely not be adequate for a person whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able 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. By way of example, if someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success should they return to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services five to seven days each week on either a part time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
