Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Monterey have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many people 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 timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only go through short term treatment . People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
