Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Mc Allister have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
