Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and lasts from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug rehab facilities in London have intensive 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 people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
