Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Harkers Island have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are greater among clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
