Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders that could be co-occurring. Within a partial day rehab center the person participates in various rehab services during the day then returns home later in the day, anywhere from five to seven days every week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal alternative for drug or alcohol addicted folks who may are not prepared to pay for inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment, or who may not have the ability to be away from their own families during inpatient or residential rehab. During a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, one-on-one and even family counseling and therapy for drug abuse issues while also addressing whatever mental health issue is plaguing them. You will need to handle both issues concurrently when there is any hope for individuals maintaining any type of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This can take several months due to the fact it's a part-time rehabilitation option, but it will likely be worthwhile for the rehab client in addition to their families in the end when they can proceed with a new start.
