Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. Inside a partial day rehab center the person participates in numerous rehabilitation activities throughout the day then returns home in the evening, anywhere from five to seven days every week. Partial day rehab centers are a great alternative for drug or alcohol addicted individuals who may struggle to pay for inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation, or who might not be able to be apart from their families during inpatient or residential rehabilitation. During a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual as well as family counseling and therapy for drug abuse issues while addressing whatever mental health issue is plaguing them. You should address both issues concurrently when there is any hope for individuals maintaining any sort of long-term sobriety or being able to regain a quality lifestyle. This may take several weeks due to the fact that it is a part-time rehabilitation option, but it will be worth it for the treatment client and their families ultimately whenever they can move forward with a new beginning.
