Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term drug rehab programs in Scotland have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably higher with individuals who only go through short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
