Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehab program which can be a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to someone who has a short history of substance abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for a person whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehab efforts to succeed if 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 centers will provide services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
