Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Leakey offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
