Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and lasts from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Wellington have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab program is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably higher among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
