Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential treatment program that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to a person who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will most definitely not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if a person has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to succeed if they go back to such situations on a regular basis. 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 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
