Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug rehab programs in Clay have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial 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 more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
