Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Ayr have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are greater with clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
