Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Carmel offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are greater among people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
