Short Term drug rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and lasts from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehab.
Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Alexandria offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that people 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 completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.
Relapse rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
