Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders that could be co-occurring. In the partial day rehab center the individual takes part in various rehab services in the daytime and then returns home at nighttime, from five to seven days a week. Partial day rehab centers are a perfect alternative for alcohol or drug addicted individuals who may not be able to pay for inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation, or who might not exactly be able to be away 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 therapy and counseling for substance abuse issues while handling whatever mental health disorder is plaguing them. You should address both issues simultaneously if there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any kind of long-term sobriety and be able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This can take several weeks or months mainly because that it is a part-time treatment option, but it will be worthwhile to the treatment client and their families in the end when they can proceed with a fresh start.
