Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Edgefield offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
