Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Boys Town offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation 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 people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are greater among people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
