Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Newtown offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are higher with clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
