Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders that could be co-occurring. In a partial day rehab center the individual participates in various rehabilitation services in daytime then returns home at nighttime, from 5 to 7 days per week. Partial day rehab centers are a great choice for drug or alcohol addicted people who may not be able to pay for inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment, or who might not exactly have the ability to be away from their families while in inpatient or residential rehab. Whilst in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual and even family counseling and therapy for drug abuse issues whilst addressing whatever mental health issue is ailing them. It is very important to handle both issues simultaneously 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 because of the fact that it is a part-time rehab option, but it will likely be worthwhile for the rehab client as well as their families in the end when they can move forward with a new beginning.
