Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who can't endure long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Aberdeen offer 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 clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are higher among individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
