Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Duke offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
