Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. In a partial day rehab center the individual participates in numerous treatment activities throughout the day and after that returns home at nighttime, between five to seven days a week. Partial day rehab centers are an excellent selection for drug or alcohol addicted people who may not be able to pay for inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation, or who might not have the ability to be apart from their families during inpatient or residential rehabilitation. During a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual and even family therapy and counseling for drug or alcohol use issues while handling whatever mental health issue is plaguing them. It is very important to address both issues simultaneously when there is any hope for individuals maintaining any type of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This could take several weeks simply because it's a part-time rehabilitation option, but it will likely be worth it for the treatment client as well as their families in the end whenever they can proceed with a new beginning.
