Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and lasts from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Fox offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
