Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Dundee offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program 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 fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are higher with clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
