Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential treatment program which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for a person who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most definitely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success whenever they go back to such circumstances each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services five to seven days each week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some instances.
