Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Ava offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
