Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for a person whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment efforts to achieve success if they return to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
