Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and lasts from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Olpe offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
