Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders which can be co-occurring. In the partial day rehab center the individual participates in various treatment activities in daytime after which returns home at night, any where from five to seven days every week. Partial day rehab centers are an excellent alternative for drug or alcohol addicted individuals who may struggle to afford inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation, or who might not be able to be away from their loved ones whilst in inpatient or residential rehab. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual and even family therapy and counseling for drug or alcohol use issues while also handling whatever mental health disorder is plaguing them. It is important to address both issues simultaneously if there is any hope for individuals maintaining any type of long-term sobriety or being able to regain a quality lifestyle. This may take several weeks or months due to the fact that it is a part-time rehabilitation option, but it's going to be worth it to the rehab client and their families eventually whenever they can move forward with a new beginning.
