Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders which might be co-occurring. In the partial day rehab center the person participates in various rehab activities in daytime and after that returns home later in the day, from five to seven days a week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal alternative for drug or alcohol addicted individuals who may be unable to afford inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment, or who might not exactly have the ability to be apart from their own families during inpatient or residential treatment. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, one-on-one and in many cases family counseling and therapy for drug or alcohol use issues while also handling whatever mental health issue is plaguing them. It is important to handle both issues simultaneously if there is any hope for individuals maintaining any kind long-term abstinence or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This will take several weeks simply because that it is a part-time rehabilitation option, but it's going to be worthwhile for the rehabilitation client along with their families eventually whenever they can move forward with a whole new beginning.
