For individuals not demanding the intensive care that inpatient drug rehabilitation in Winthrop, MA. delivers but still in need of more attention than an outpatient program, partial hospitalization / day treatment is an excellent option. Clients are usually enrolled into this form of treatment as a prevention measure when it comes to their substance abuse problems or as a transition back into their life in the community. Partial hospitalization / day treatment normally lasts for several hours a day (if not the entire day itself) and for several days all through the week (if not the entire week). Through their time in treatment clients will probably participate in personal counseling and group therapy in addition to other social activities to build their life skills.
