Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. In a partial day rehab center the person takes part in numerous rehabilitation activities throughout the day after which returns home later in the day, between five to seven days a week. Partial day rehab centers are a perfect alternative for alcohol or drug addicted individuals who may be unable to pay for inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation, or who may not be able to be apart from their families during inpatient or residential rehab. During a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual and even family therapy and counseling for substance abuse issues whilst addressing whatever mental health issue is ailing them. You will need to address both issues simultaneously when there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any kind of long-term abstinence and be able to regain a quality lifestyle. This may take several weeks or months simply because that it is a part-time rehabilitation option, but it will likely be worthwhile to the rehab client in addition to their families in the long run when they can move forward with a whole new start.
