Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders that could be co-occurring. In the partial day rehab center the person participates in numerous rehabilitation services during the day and then returns home at nighttime, from 5 to 7 days per week. Partial day rehab centers are an excellent alternative for alcohol or drug addicted folks who may not be able to afford inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab, or who may not have the ability to be apart from their own families when in inpatient or residential rehab. Whilst in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual as well as family counseling and therapy for drug abuse issues while also handling whatever mental health issue is plaguing them. You will need to handle both issues concurrently when there is any hope for individuals maintaining any sort of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a quality lifestyle. This can take several months simply because it's a part-time rehab option, but it will likely be worthwhile to the rehab client as well as their families in the long run when they can move forward with a brand new start.
