Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.
Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Oak City have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are greater among people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
