Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which might be co-occurring. In a partial day rehab center the individual participates in numerous treatment activities throughout the day then returns home at nighttime, from five to seven days a week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal alternative for alcohol or drug addicted people who may not be able to pay for inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab, or who might not exactly be able to be apart from their loved ones whilst in inpatient or residential rehab. Whilst in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual and even family counseling and therapy for drug or alcohol use issues while also handling whatever mental health issue is ailing them. It is important to handle both issues simultaneously if there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any sort of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a quality lifestyle. This will take several months simply because it's a part-time rehabilitation option, but it's going to be worth it for the rehab client as well as their families in the end whenever they can move forward with a fresh beginning.
