Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, if someone else has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to have success if they go back to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part-time or full time basis for 1 month or longer in some instances.
