Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Taunton have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that individuals 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 rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only receive short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
