Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders which might be co-occurring. Inside a partial day rehab center the individual takes part in various treatment activities throughout the day and then returns home later in the day, from five to seven days per week. Partial day rehab centers are an excellent alternative for drug or alcohol addicted people who may be unable to pay for inpatient or residential drug treatment, or who may not be able to be away from their families during inpatient or residential rehabilitation. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, one-on-one and even family counseling and therapy for drug or alcohol use issues whilst addressing whatever mental health issue is plaguing them. You will need to address both issues simultaneously if there is any hope for individuals maintaining any kind long-term sobriety or being able to regain a quality lifestyle. This will take several weeks or months simply because it's a part-time treatment option, but it'll be worthwhile for the treatment client and their families in the long run when they can move forward with a whole new start.
