Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Oak Ridge have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation program 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 fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are greater among people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
