Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Langley have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that many people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
