Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab program that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to someone who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will certainly not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success if they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services five to seven days a week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some instances.
