Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential treatment program which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for a person who has a short history of substance abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for someone whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success should they return to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and individual counseling, along with 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 thirty days or longer in some instances.
