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 participates in various rehabilitation services in daytime and then returns home in the evening, anywhere from 5 to 7 days per week. Partial day rehab centers are a great alternative for alcohol or drug addicted individuals who may struggle to pay for inpatient or residential drug rehab, or who might not exactly be able to be away from their loved ones when in inpatient or residential rehabilitation. During a partial day rehab center, individuals take part in group, individual and even family therapy and counseling for substance abuse issues while handling whatever mental health issue is ailing them. You should address both issues concurrently if there is any hope for individuals maintaining any kind of long-term abstinence and be able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This can take several weeks because of the fact it's a part-time treatment option, but it will be worthwhile to the treatment client as well as their families ultimately whenever they can move forward with a brand new beginning.
