Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Ontario 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 services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
