Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Laurence Harbor offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
