Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug rehab centers in Birmingham offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
