Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in North Washington have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
