Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug rehab programs in Atkins have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab program is that many people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are higher with clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
