Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Hampton have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief 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 drug rehabilitation program is that clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
