Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and elements of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to a person who has a brief history of drug abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for someone whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone else is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success whenever they go back to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
