Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Lane have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that many people 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 rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are greater with clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
