Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot endure long-term rehab.
Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in The Colony offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that 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 treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
