Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.
Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Tunnelton have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that individuals may still be experiencing 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 rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab 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.
