Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't endure long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug rehab programs in Altadena have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
