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