Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. In a partial day rehab center the individual participates in numerous rehab services in the daytime then returns home in the evening, anywhere from 5 to 7 days per week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal alternative for alcohol or drug addicted folks who may are not prepared to pay for inpatient or residential drug rehab, or who may not have the ability to be away from their own families during inpatient or residential rehabilitation. Whilst in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual as well as family therapy and counseling for drug abuse issues while handling whatever mental health issue is plaguing them. It is very important to address both issues simultaneously if there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any sort of long-term abstinence and be able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This may take several weeks or months because of the fact that it is a part-time rehabilitation option, but it will be worthwhile to the treatment client as well as their families ultimately whenever they can proceed with a whole new beginning.
