Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which can be co-occurring. In the partial day rehab center the individual takes part in various rehab services throughout the day and then returns home at nighttime, from five to seven days per week. Partial day rehab centers are an excellent alternative for alcohol or drug addicted individuals who may struggle to afford inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation, or who might not be able to be away from their own families when in inpatient or residential treatment. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual as well as family therapy and counseling for drug or alcohol use issues whilst addressing whatever mental health issue is plaguing them. It is important to handle both issues concurrently if there is any hope for individuals maintaining any kind long-term abstinence and be able to regain a quality lifestyle. This will take several weeks mainly because it's a part-time rehab option, but it will be worthwhile for the rehab client as well as their families ultimately when they can move forward with a fresh start.
