Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Ida have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility 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.
