Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug rehab programs in Iroquois offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
