Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. 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 rehab.
Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Rio Grande City offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Recidivism rates are higher among clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
