Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and lasts from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Plainfield have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
