Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.
Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Elwood 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 people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are higher among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
