Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. Inside a partial day rehab center the person participates in various rehabilitation activities throughout the day then returns home at night, between 5 to 7 days per week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal alternative for alcohol or drug addicted individuals who may be unable to afford inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment, or who might not be able to be apart from their loved ones 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 whilst addressing whatever mental health disorder is plaguing them. You will need to address both issues simultaneously when there is any hope for individuals maintaining any sort of long-term sobriety and be able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This could take several weeks or months mainly because that it is a part-time rehabilitation option, but it will likely be worthwhile to the rehab client along with their families in the end when they can proceed with a fresh start.
