Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and lasts from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Strasburg have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many people 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 more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
