Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of treatment provided in an inpatient or residential rehab setting that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone has been physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed whenever they return to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some instances.
