Partial day rehab centers treat drug or alcohol use disorders and mental health disorders which can be co-occurring. Inside a partial day rehab center the person takes part in various rehabilitation services throughout the day and then returns home at nighttime, any where from 5 to 7 days every week. Partial day rehab centers are a perfect alternative for drug or alcohol addicted people who may be unable to pay for inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation, or who may not have the ability to be apart from their loved ones whilst in inpatient or residential rehab. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, one-on-one and in many cases family counseling and therapy for substance abuse issues whilst handling whatever mental health disorder is plaguing them. It is very important to handle both issues simultaneously when there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any type of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This could take several weeks mainly because it's a part-time treatment option, but it will likely be worthwhile to the rehabilitation client as well as their families ultimately whenever they can move forward with a new beginning.
