Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab program that is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for someone who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will most definitely not be adequate for an individual whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. As an example, if a person has been physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to achieve success if they return to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
