Partial day rehab centers treat drug or alcohol use disorders and mental health disorders which might be co-occurring. Inside a partial day rehab center the individual participates in various rehab activities in the daytime after which returns home later in the day, from 5 to 7 days every week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal alternative for alcohol or drug addicted folks who may not be able to afford inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation, or who may not be able to be away from their families when in inpatient or residential rehabilitation. Whilst in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual as well as family counseling and therapy for drug abuse issues while addressing whatever mental health issue is ailing them. It is important to handle both issues concurrently when there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any kind of long-term sobriety and be able to regain a quality lifestyle. This will take several weeks or months mainly because it's a part-time rehab option, but it will likely be worthwhile to the rehabilitation client and their families in the long run when they can move forward with a new start.
