Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which can be significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will certainly not be adequate for a person whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to achieve success should they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
