Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders that could be co-occurring. In a partial day rehab center the person participates in various rehab activities during the day after which returns home at nighttime, from five to seven days every week. Partial day rehab centers are a great option for alcohol or drug addicted individuals who may not be able to afford inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation, or who might not be able to be apart from their own families during inpatient or residential rehabilitation. During a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, one-on-one and even family therapy and counseling for substance abuse issues whilst handling whatever mental health issue is ailing them. You will need to handle both issues simultaneously when there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any type of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This can take several weeks simply because it's a part-time treatment option, but it will be worthwhile to the rehab client as well as their families in the long run whenever they can proceed with a new beginning.
