Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in St. Vincent offer intensive 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 clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab program is that clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
