Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders which can be co-occurring. Within a partial day rehab center the individual participates in various rehabilitation activities during the day and then returns home at night, any where from 5 to 7 days a week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal choice for alcohol or drug addicted individuals who may struggle to afford inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment, or who may not have the ability to be apart from their loved ones during inpatient or residential treatment. During 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 handling whatever mental health disorder is ailing them. It is very important to handle both issues simultaneously when there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any type of long-term abstinence and be able to regain a quality lifestyle. This can take several months simply because it's a part-time rehab option, but it will likely be worth it to the rehabilitation client in addition to their families in the end whenever they can proceed with a brand new start.
