Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. Inside a partial day rehab center the person participates in various treatment activities in the daytime and after that returns home in the evening, between 5 to 7 days a week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal option for alcohol or drug addicted individuals who may be unable to pay for inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment, or who might not exactly have the ability to be apart from their loved ones whilst in inpatient or residential rehabilitation. Whilst in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual and in many cases family therapy and counseling for drug abuse issues while also addressing whatever mental health disorder is plaguing them. It is very important to address both issues simultaneously when there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any type of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This may take several months due to the fact it's a part-time rehabilitation option, but it will be worth it for the rehab client in addition to their families in the long run when they can move forward with a new start.
