Short Term drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who can't endure long-term treatment.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Clio offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher with people who only go through short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
