Partial day rehab centers treat drug or alcohol use disorders and mental health disorders which can be co-occurring. Within a partial day rehab center the individual takes part in various treatment activities in daytime then returns home at night, anywhere from 5 to 7 days per week. Partial day rehab centers are an excellent alternative for drug or alcohol addicted folks who may not be able to afford inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment, or who may well not be able to be apart from their own families during inpatient or residential rehabilitation. While in a partial day rehab center, individuals experience group, individual and in many cases family counseling and therapy for drug or alcohol use issues whilst handling whatever mental health disorder is ailing them. It is very important to handle both issues simultaneously when there is any hope for individuals maintaining any kind of long-term sobriety and be able to regain a healthy lifestyle. This could take several weeks because of the fact it's a part-time treatment option, but it'll be worth it for the treatment client and their families in the end when they can move forward with a fresh start.
