Partial day rehab centers treat substance abuse disorders and mental health disorders which can be co-occurring. Within a partial day rehab center the individual takes part in various rehab activities in the daytime after which returns home at night, between five to seven days every week. Partial day rehab centers are a great option for drug or alcohol addicted people who may be unable to pay for inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment, or who might not exactly be able to be away from their loved ones while in inpatient or residential rehab. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual as well as family therapy and counseling for substance abuse issues whilst addressing whatever mental health issue is plaguing them. You should address both issues simultaneously if there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any sort of long-term abstinence or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This could take several months because of the fact that it is a part-time treatment option, but it will likely be worthwhile for the treatment client along with their families in the long run when they can move forward with a fresh beginning.
