Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for anyone who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, if a person has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to have success if they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services five to seven days a week on either a part time or full time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
