Which is Right for Me? Long-term vs. Short-term Inpatient Treatment
Most drug and alcohol treatment facilities offer their patients a choice between long-term and short-term inpatient treatment. Short-term treatment is generally about four to six weeks in length, while long-term treatment runs for at least ninety days and in some cases, longer.
What is Long-term Rehabilitation?
Long-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs are those addiction recovery programs that run ninety days or longer. The extended length is directly related to the nature of the addiction and how well the patient is responding to treatment. The patient may have an addiction to drugs that have long and painful withdrawal times, or they may have been diagnosed with a co-occurring disorder that needs to be addressed as well in order for recovery to be effective.
Many long-term treatment programs began as short-term programs, but how the patient responded to treatment necessitated extending the treatment to the longer. Also, some patients were in short-term rehabilitation, but after discharge relapsed into the old behaviors to such an extent that long-treatment became necessary.
I am relapse but I think all in need is a tune up
If you are in relapse, something went wrong somewhere. Either the initial program was not effective, or the outpatient program instituted did not work. In either case, it is best to return to the facility from which you were discharged for a new assessment and recommendations. It may be that short-term treatment is all that is needed. However, there may be other issues in play. Because of that, the facility you are in should be flexible in adjusting the length of time needed to complete successfully the program. In addition, the post-discharge recovery support may need to be reassessed and redesigned.
My first time getting help
If it is your first time getting help, it is best to seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional. In doing this, you are assured of a competent assessment of the nature of your addiction and what type of program will best meet your needs. As added protection, seek advice from two or more sources to get a complete picture of your addiction and to get their recommendations as to what type of therapy will have the greatest chance of success.
How to prepare for discharge from short term vs. long term
When it comes time to leave drug and alcohol addiction treatment, there are some similarities between short and long-term treatment. You should receive a complete evaluation of your condition and comprehensive recommendations from the treatment staff. Additionally, your treatment team should have developed a complete post-treatment program, with recommendations for outpatient individual and group therapy, participation in support groups, and suggested lifestyle changes. A good facility that offers both short and long-term treatment has the flexibility to adjust your therapy and extend your stay. Shortening of a long-term treatment plan rarely happens.
