Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential treatment program that is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to achieve success should they return to such conditions every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling 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.
