Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Gambier have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are greater with individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
