Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders which can be co-occurring. Within a partial day rehab center the person takes part in various treatment services throughout the day then returns home later in the day, between five to seven days every week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal alternative for drug or alcohol addicted individuals who may are not prepared to pay for inpatient or residential drug treatment, or who might not be able to be away from their loved ones while in inpatient or residential rehab. During a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, one-on-one and in many cases family counseling and therapy for drug abuse issues while addressing whatever mental health disorder is ailing them. It is important to address both issues concurrently when there is any hope for individuals maintaining any kind long-term sobriety or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This will take several months mainly because that it is a part-time treatment option, but it will be worthwhile for the rehabilitation client and their families eventually whenever they can move forward with a new beginning.
