Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Palm Springs have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
