Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. Within a partial day rehab center the individual participates in various treatment activities during the day after which returns home at night, anywhere from 5 to 7 days every week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal choice for alcohol or drug addicted people who may not be able to pay for inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment, or who might not exactly have the ability to be apart from their own families when in inpatient or residential treatment. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, one-on-one and in many cases family counseling and therapy for drug or alcohol use issues while handling whatever mental health disorder is ailing them. It is very important to handle both issues concurrently when there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any kind of long-term abstinence and be able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This may take several months mainly because it's a part-time rehab option, but it will likely be worth it for the rehab client along with their families in the end whenever they can move forward with a new beginning.
