Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for a person who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone else has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to have success if they go back to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
