Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to maintain specific obligations and elements of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for someone who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For example, when someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success should they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 5 to 7 days each week on either a part-time or full time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
