Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Townsville offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Recidivism rates are higher among clients who only get short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
