Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential treatment program which is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to a person who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will most surely not be sufficient for a person whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to have success should they return to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some instances.
