Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Gordon offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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 rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that people may still be in the beginning 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 timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
