Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and lasts from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Leon offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation 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 specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are greater with people who only get short term treatment . People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
