Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders that could be co-occurring. Inside a partial day rehab center the person takes part in various treatment services during the day and after that returns home later in the day, from five to seven days per week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal option for alcohol or drug addicted people who may not be able to afford inpatient or residential drug treatment, or who may not have the ability to be apart from their families while in inpatient or residential rehab. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual and even family counseling and therapy for drug or alcohol use issues while also handling whatever mental health disorder is ailing them. It is very important to address both issues simultaneously if there is any hope for individuals maintaining any type of long-term sobriety and be able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This may take several weeks or months simply because it's a part-time rehabilitation option, but it will likely be worth it for the rehab client along with their families eventually whenever they can proceed with a new start.
