Short-term inpatient treatment is a form of drug and alcohol rehabilitation where the patient lives at the facility while receiving treatment for around 28 days until treatment is complete. Short-term inpatient programs are among the most utilized types of treatment for substance abuse and are what most people think of when they consider rehab.
Short-term inpatient treatment should be considered when the person is actively abusing substances and hasn’t been to treatment multiple times previously. Most people’s first experience with rehabilitation is the short-term inpatient model because of its ability to address most forms of addiction. There are levels of care above and below short-term inpatient treatment that are better suited for people with extensive histories of relapse or those who aren’t actively using substances.
After a person completes short-term inpatient treatment, they usually enroll in outpatient services. Outpatient treatment services allow patients to live at home while attending regular treatment sessions, either by commuting to a facility or online. These sessions provide support to those who are transitioning after completion of inpatient treatment, and frequency may be decreased as they progress.
A short-term inpatient treatment program usually begins with detox. Patients dependent on substances typically need several days of assisted abstinence to become drug-free and through any accompanying withdrawal symptoms that would prevent treatment progress. After detox, the patient usually begins attending group counseling and support group meetings. They may also receive individual counseling and other therapeutic process designed to help them overcome addiction and prevent relapse.
