Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that's significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. As an example, if a person has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to have success whenever they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
