Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain certain obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab program which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to someone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will most definitely not be adequate for an individual whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success if they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part time or full-time schedule for thirty days or longer in some cases.
