Partial day rehab centers treat drug or alcohol use disorders and mental health disorders that could be co-occurring. Within a partial day rehab center the individual takes part in numerous treatment activities throughout the day and after that returns home later in the day, anywhere from 5 to 7 days per week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal alternative for alcohol or drug addicted folks who may be unable to pay for inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation, or who might not be able to be away from their own families when in inpatient or residential rehab. Whilst in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual and in many cases family therapy and counseling for drug abuse issues whilst addressing whatever mental health disorder is plaguing them. You will need to handle both issues simultaneously if there is any hope for individuals maintaining any type of long-term abstinence and be able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This will take several weeks mainly because it's a part-time rehabilitation option, but it will be worthwhile to the treatment client as well as their families in the long run when they can move forward with a whole new beginning.
