Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. In the partial day rehab center the person participates in numerous rehab activities during the day and then returns home later in the day, any where from 5 to 7 days every week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal choice for drug or alcohol addicted individuals who may struggle to afford inpatient or residential drug treatment, or who may not have the ability to be away from their own families during inpatient or residential treatment. Whilst in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual and in many cases family therapy and counseling for drug abuse issues while addressing 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 kind of long-term abstinence and be able to regain a quality lifestyle. This may take several weeks or months simply because it's a part-time treatment option, but it will likely be worth it to the rehab client and their families in the end when they can proceed with a fresh start.
