Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. Inside a partial day rehab center the individual takes part in various rehabilitation activities during the day and then returns home later in the day, anywhere from 5 to 7 days every week. Partial day rehab centers are a great choice for alcohol or drug addicted people who may are not prepared to pay for inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab, or who might not exactly be able to be apart from their loved ones whilst in inpatient or residential rehabilitation. During a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual and in many cases family counseling and therapy for substance abuse issues while also handling whatever mental health disorder is ailing them. It is very important to handle both issues simultaneously if there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any sort of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a quality lifestyle. This can take several weeks or months simply because it's a part-time treatment option, but it will be worth it to the treatment client and their families ultimately whenever they can move forward with a whole new start.
