Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in O Brien have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab facility is that many people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
