Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to maintain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to a person who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will most surely not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to succeed whenever they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some instances.
