Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab program that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for a person who has a brief history of substance abuse for example, but will most definitely not be adequate for an individual whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success if they return to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some instances.
