Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.
Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Clio offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab facility is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages 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 harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher with individuals who only receive short term treatment . People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
