Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so brief, 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 rehabilitation programs in Toco offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab center is that individuals 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 rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are higher with clients who only get short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
