Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Malta have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are greater with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
