Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term treatment.
Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Lakeland have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases 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 more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are higher among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
