Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for anyone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for someone whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if a person has been physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to have success whenever they return to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services five to seven days each week on either a part time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
