Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and lasts from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in St. Simons Island have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher with people who only receive short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
