Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders that could be co-occurring. Inside a partial day rehab center the person participates in numerous rehabilitation activities throughout the day after which returns home at night, anywhere from 5 to 7 days every week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal alternative for alcohol or drug addicted people who may struggle to afford inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation, or who may well not be able to be away from their loved ones while in inpatient or residential rehabilitation. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, one-on-one and in many cases family therapy and counseling for drug or alcohol use issues while addressing whatever mental health issue is ailing them. It is very important to address both issues concurrently when there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any kind long-term abstinence or being able to regain a quality lifestyle. This will take several weeks or months because of the fact that it is a part-time rehab option, but it's going to be worth it to the treatment client and their families ultimately when they can move forward with a fresh start.
