Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which can be co-occurring. In a partial day rehab center the person takes part in various rehabilitation activities in daytime and then returns home at nighttime, anywhere from 5 to 7 days per week. Partial day rehab centers are a great alternative for drug or alcohol addicted individuals who may not be able to afford inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment, or who may not be able to be away from their own families whilst in inpatient or residential rehab. Whilst in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, one-on-one and even family counseling and therapy for drug abuse issues while addressing whatever mental health disorder is plaguing them. It is important to handle both issues concurrently if there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any sort of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This may take several weeks because of the fact it's a part-time rehabilitation option, but it will likely be worthwhile for the rehab client and their families eventually when they can move forward with a fresh beginning.
