Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to maintain specific obligations and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which can be much more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for a person who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will most surely not be sufficient for someone whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any treatment efforts to succeed whenever they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part time or full-time schedule for thirty days or longer in some cases.
