Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Dover have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that individuals may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher among clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
