Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to anyone who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will most surely not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone else is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success whenever they go back to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and individual counseling, along with 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.
