Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain certain obligations and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to someone who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for an individual whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. For example, if someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to achieve success should they go back to such circumstances each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
