Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and lasts from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Webb offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
