Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Bridport have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are greater among clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
