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