Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders that could be co-occurring. In a partial day rehab center the person takes part in numerous rehabilitation services in the daytime after which returns home later in the day, from five to seven days a week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal alternative for drug or alcohol addicted people who may not be able to afford inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab, or who might not exactly have the ability to be apart from their families whilst in inpatient or residential treatment. Whilst in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual and in many cases family therapy and counseling for drug abuse issues while also handling whatever mental health disorder is ailing them. It is very important to handle both issues concurrently when there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any kind of long-term sobriety or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This could take several months simply because it's a part-time rehabilitation option, but it will likely be worth it for the rehabilitation client as well as their families in the end when they can proceed with a whole new start.
