Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which might be co-occurring. In the partial day rehab center the person takes part in various rehab activities throughout the day after which returns home later in the day, from five to seven days every week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal option for alcohol or drug addicted individuals who may struggle to afford inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation, or who may not have the ability to be away from their families when in inpatient or residential treatment. During a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, one-on-one and even family therapy and counseling for substance abuse issues while handling whatever mental health disorder is ailing them. It is very important to address both issues concurrently if there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any kind of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This can take several weeks or months simply because it's a part-time treatment option, but it will be worthwhile to the rehabilitation client as well as their families ultimately when they can proceed with a new beginning.
