Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Anna have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
