Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders that could be co-occurring. In a partial day rehab center the individual participates in numerous rehab activities during the day and then returns home at nighttime, any where from five to seven days per week. Partial day rehab centers are a perfect alternative for alcohol or drug addicted individuals who may struggle to afford inpatient or residential drug rehab, or who might not have the ability to be away from their own families during inpatient or residential rehabilitation. Whilst in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual as well as family counseling and therapy for drug or alcohol use issues while also addressing whatever mental health disorder is plaguing them. You should handle both issues simultaneously if there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any sort of long-term sobriety or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This could take several weeks or months because of the fact that it is a part-time rehab option, but it will likely be worth it to the rehabilitation client and their families in the long run whenever they can move forward with a whole new start.
