Partial day rehab centers treat drug or alcohol use disorders and mental health disorders which can be co-occurring. Inside a partial day rehab center the person takes part in various treatment activities during the day and after that returns home later in the day, anywhere from 5 to 7 days per week. Partial day rehab centers are an excellent alternative for drug or alcohol addicted people who may be unable to afford inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation, or who might not exactly be able to be away from their own families when in inpatient or residential rehab. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, one-on-one and in many cases family therapy and counseling for substance abuse issues whilst addressing whatever mental health disorder is plaguing them. It is very important to handle both issues simultaneously when there is any hope for individuals maintaining any type of long-term sobriety or being able to regain a quality lifestyle. This will take several months mainly because it's a part-time rehabilitation option, but it'll be worthwhile to the treatment client as well as their families in the long run when they can proceed with a new beginning.
