Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and lasts from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Leonardsville have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that many people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
