Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Arlington offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
