Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which might be co-occurring. In a partial day rehab center the individual participates in numerous treatment services during the day then returns home at nighttime, anywhere from 5 to 7 days per week. Partial day rehab centers are an excellent alternative for alcohol or drug addicted folks who may struggle to afford inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment, or who might not be able to be apart from their families whilst in inpatient or residential rehab. During a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual and in many cases family therapy and counseling for substance abuse issues whilst addressing whatever mental health issue is ailing them. It is very important to address both issues concurrently if there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any sort of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a quality lifestyle. This could take several weeks mainly because it's a part-time treatment option, but it will likely be worth it for the rehab client as well as their families eventually when they can move forward with a new beginning.
