Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Oakland have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, 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 people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are higher among clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
