Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who cannot endure long-term treatment.
Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Summerville offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
