Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Glendale offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term treatment 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 rehabilitation program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
