Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. In the partial day rehab center the individual takes part in various rehabilitation activities in the daytime after which returns home in the evening, anywhere from 5 to 7 days a week. Partial day rehab centers are a perfect alternative for drug or alcohol addicted people 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 families during inpatient or residential rehab. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, one-on-one and even family counseling and therapy for drug abuse issues while addressing whatever mental health disorder is ailing them. It is important to handle both issues concurrently when there is any hope for individuals maintaining any kind of long-term abstinence and be able to regain a quality lifestyle. This may take several weeks because of the fact that it is a part-time rehabilitation option, but it'll be worth it to the rehab client and their families ultimately when they can move forward with a new start.
