Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Erskine offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that clients 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 rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
