Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Challenge offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are greater with individuals who only receive short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
