Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential rehab program that is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for a person who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. For instance, when someone has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to succeed if they go back to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full-time schedule for thirty days or longer in some cases.
