Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders which can be co-occurring. In a partial day rehab center the individual participates in various rehab activities throughout the day after which returns home at nighttime, any where from 5 to 7 days per week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal alternative for alcohol or drug addicted individuals who may are not prepared to afford inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab, or who may not be able to be apart from their own families during inpatient or residential rehabilitation. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, one-on-one and even family counseling and therapy for drug or alcohol use issues while also handling whatever mental health issue is plaguing them. You should handle both issues simultaneously if there is any hope for individuals maintaining any type of long-term sobriety or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This may take several months simply because it's a part-time treatment option, but it'll be worth it for the rehabilitation client along with their families ultimately whenever they can move forward with a fresh beginning.
