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 individual participates in numerous rehab services in daytime then returns home later in the day, anywhere from five to seven days per week. Partial day rehab centers are a great alternative for drug or alcohol addicted folks who may not be able to pay for inpatient or residential drug rehab, or who may not have the ability to be away from their own families during inpatient or residential treatment. During a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, one-on-one as well as family therapy and counseling for drug abuse issues while handling whatever mental health issue is plaguing them. You should handle both issues concurrently when there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any kind long-term abstinence or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This can take several weeks mainly because it's a part-time treatment option, but it's going to be worth it for the treatment client and their families in the end when they can move forward with a whole new start.
