Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders which can be co-occurring. Within a partial day rehab center the individual participates in numerous rehabilitation activities throughout the day and then returns home later in the day, anywhere from 5 to 7 days per week. Partial day rehab centers are a perfect choice for alcohol or drug addicted folks who may be unable to pay for inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation, or who may well not be able to be apart from their own families when in inpatient or residential rehabilitation. During a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual as well as family counseling and therapy for substance abuse issues while also addressing whatever mental health disorder is plaguing them. It is important to handle both issues concurrently when there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any type of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This may take several months due to the fact it's a part-time rehab option, but it will be worth it to the treatment client along with their families ultimately when they can move forward with a fresh beginning.
