Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and lasts from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. 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 drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Garland offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
