Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Deerfield have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher among individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
