Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and elements of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for someone whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if a person has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to have success if they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services five to seven days each week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
