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