Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and lasts from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who can't endure long-term treatment.
Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Pittsburgh offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that many clients may still be in 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 harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
