Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to have success should they return to such circumstances each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
