Short Term drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and lasts from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Perkinston offer 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 clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are higher with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
