Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Shavano Park offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only receive short term rehab . Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
