Partial day rehab centers treat drug or alcohol use disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. Inside a partial day rehab center the person participates in various treatment services in the daytime and then returns home at night, between five to seven days a week. Partial day rehab centers are a great alternative for drug or alcohol addicted people who may struggle to pay for inpatient or residential drug rehab, or who may not be able to be away from their own families when in inpatient or residential rehab. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual and even family therapy and counseling for substance abuse issues while also addressing whatever mental health disorder is plaguing them. It is very important to address both issues concurrently if there is any hope for individuals maintaining any kind of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a quality lifestyle. This will take several weeks or months mainly because that it is a part-time rehab option, but it will be worthwhile for the rehab client and their families in the long run whenever they can move forward with a fresh beginning.
