Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Slab Fork have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only receive 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 at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
