Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. In the partial day rehab center the individual takes part in numerous treatment activities throughout the day then returns home in the evening, from five to seven days a week. Partial day rehab centers are an excellent alternative for drug or alcohol addicted people who may not be able to afford inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab, or who might not have the ability to be away from their loved ones while in inpatient or residential treatment. During a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual and in many cases family counseling and therapy for drug or alcohol use issues while also addressing whatever mental health issue is plaguing them. It is very important to handle both issues concurrently if there is any hope for individuals maintaining any type of long-term sobriety or being able to regain a quality lifestyle. This may take several weeks or months due to the fact it's a part-time treatment option, but it'll be worthwhile for the rehabilitation client and their families eventually whenever they can move forward with a new beginning.
