Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug rehab programs in Millhousen offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug 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 fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher among individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
