Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and lasts from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Penitas offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients 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 treatment facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
