Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Ambridge have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab center is that people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are greater with clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
