Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Brodheadsville offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that many people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
