Partial day rehab centers treat drug abuse disorders and mental health disorders which may be co-occurring. In the partial day rehab center the person takes part in numerous rehabilitation activities in daytime then returns home at nighttime, any where from 5 to 7 days a week. Partial day rehab centers are a great alternative for drug or alcohol addicted people who may not be able to afford inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation, or who might not exactly be able to be away from their loved ones during inpatient or residential treatment. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual and even family therapy and counseling for drug abuse issues while also addressing whatever mental health disorder is ailing them. It is very important to address both issues simultaneously if there is any any expectation for individuals maintaining any sort of long-term sobriety and be able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This will take several weeks due to the fact that it is a part-time rehabilitation option, but it will likely be worth it to the rehab client along with their families in the end when they can move forward with a fresh start.
