Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Slippery Rock offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
