Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for somebody who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will most definitely not be sufficient for a person whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. As an example, if a person is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to have success should they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services six or seven days each week on either a part time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
