Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.
Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Potter offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
