Partial day rehab centers treat drug or alcohol use disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. Within a partial day rehab center the person participates in various rehabilitation activities in the daytime and then returns home in the evening, from 5 to 7 days every week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal choice for drug or alcohol addicted people who may struggle to afford inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment, or who might not have the ability to be apart from their loved ones during inpatient or residential rehab. Whilst in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, one-on-one and in many cases family therapy and counseling for drug abuse issues whilst handling whatever mental health disorder is ailing them. You should address both issues concurrently if there is any hope for individuals maintaining any kind of long-term sobriety and be able to regain a quality lifestyle. This can take several weeks due to the fact it's a part-time treatment option, but it will likely be worthwhile to the treatment client as well as their families in the end when they can move forward with a new start.
