Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Meadville offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are greater with people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
