Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Santa Cruz offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment 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 treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher among people who only get short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
