Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Snow Shoe have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that many individuals 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 rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through 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 treatment facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
