Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to someone who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone else has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to have success should they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
