Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while getting involved in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehab program that is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for somebody who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. For example, when someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to have success should they return to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
