Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. In the partial day rehab center the individual takes part in numerous rehab activities throughout the day and then returns home in the evening, between five to seven days per week. Partial day rehab centers are a great alternative for alcohol or drug addicted folks who may struggle to pay for inpatient or residential drug treatment, or who may not have the ability to be away from their own families while in inpatient or residential treatment. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual as well as family therapy and counseling for substance abuse issues while also handling whatever mental health issue is ailing them. It is very important to handle both issues concurrently if there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any sort of long-term sobriety and be able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This can take several weeks due to the fact that it is a part-time rehabilitation option, but it will be worth it to the rehabilitation client and their families in the end whenever they can proceed with a brand new start.
