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 takes part in various treatment services during the day and then returns home in the evening, from five to seven days every week. Partial day rehab centers are an ideal alternative for alcohol or drug addicted individuals who may struggle to pay for inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab, or who might not exactly be able to be apart from their own families while in inpatient or residential rehabilitation. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual as well as family counseling and therapy for drug abuse issues while also addressing whatever mental health disorder is ailing them. It is important to address both issues concurrently if there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any kind long-term abstinence and be able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This will take several weeks due to the fact that it is a part-time treatment option, but it will likely be worthwhile for the rehab client along with their families in the end whenever they can move forward with a fresh beginning.
