Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot endure long-term treatment.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Chester have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are higher with people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
