Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which can be co-occurring. In a partial day rehab center the individual takes part in various rehabilitation services in daytime after which returns home at night, anywhere from 5 to 7 days per week. Partial day rehab centers are a great option for alcohol or drug addicted people who may be unable to pay for inpatient or residential drug treatment, or who might not be able to be away from their loved ones during inpatient or residential treatment. During a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, one-on-one and in many cases family counseling and therapy for substance abuse issues while addressing whatever mental health issue is ailing them. You will need to address both issues simultaneously when there is any hope for individuals maintaining any kind long-term abstinence or being able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This may take several months because of the fact it's a part-time rehab option, but it will be worth it for the rehab client and their families eventually when they can move forward with a new beginning.
