Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term treatment.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Ayer have 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 individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
