Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for somebody who has a brief history of drug abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for a person whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if someone else is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success whenever they return to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual counseling, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 5 to 7 days each week on either a part time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some cases.
