Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to maintain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting that's significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to a person who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most surely not be sufficient for a person whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. For example, if a person has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to succeed should they return to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services five to seven days per week on either a part time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
