Short-Term Drug Rehab Programs: 28/30 Day Programs

28-day, 30-day, or short-term rehab center programs are the most common inpatient treatment programs available in the United States. Once a person has completed a detox program, they will be given an evaluation that will help the counselors determine a treatment plan that will help them handle the underlying issues that have led to the substance use disorder. One-month treatment programs can help people recover from drug misuse or alcohol abuse in a safe environment. This will help them foster their recovery with like-minded people seeking to end their struggle with addiction. It is recommended that after a person completes a one-month treatment program, they follow through with their aftercare, which can include outpatient treatment programs, group therapy, and recovery meetings.

What is the first step in recovery?

Realizing you need help or want to try to help a loved one with their addiction is the most important first step in seeking recovery. The second step is finding help. A 30-day short-term rehab center program can help you overcome a substance use disorder and set you on the path to a new chapter in your life.

What happens during a 28-day rehab stay

The inpatient treatment approach treats the body, mind, and spirit. Although there are many types of approaches to treatment, the 28-day treatment model is the most well-known. Treatment usually begins with a short stay in a detox or stabilization unit, depending on the substance that has been misused. This is to ensure that the patient does not have withdrawal symptoms or psychological symptoms. Once the biological issues are under control, you will be cleared to enter the rest of the program.

The next step will involve individual and group counseling, along with activities chosen to work in conjunction with your program. Through education and self-reflection, patients are provided tools that help them identify the deep-seated roots of their chemical dependency. This will help them identify patterns of behavior and poor choices that could get in the way of their recovery.

One-month short-term treatment programs help patients rediscover themselves, giving them the ability to lead a happy and healthy life. Through this type of program, patients learn that their chemical dependency has been rooted in a neglect of one aspect of themselves. Once treatment is completed, the patient leaves the program a complete person that is in tune with every aspect of themselves, and to the world at large.  

Will insurance pay for a one-month rehab program?

28-day treatment programs can be paid for in part with most insurance policies, but coverage may vary depending on the provider and policy. Addiction No More works with programs that are in-network with most insurance providers.

Are long-term rehab centers better than short-term treatment programs?

For some people, a 30-day treatment program may not be enough for them to get through a program for their current addiction problems. Longer programs can give the patient more time to build new habits and incorporate changes while still enrolled in treatment.

Patients who are struggling with chronic relapses or those with a long history of substance use disorder can greatly benefit from a long-term rehab program. Some patients who need dual diagnosis treatment may want to consider a longer stay at a rehab program to make sure that they are not only treated for the substance use disorder but also have stabilized on the medications before leaving the program.

When looking for a 28-day alcohol or drug rehab, there are a few things to be sure you ask before committing to treatment.

These can include:
*Cost
*Insurance co-payment
*Services provided
*Treatment methods
*Detox availability
*Amenities
*Staff Credentials
*Accreditations
*Location

Is it better to leave my area for a 28-day rehab stay?

It is sometimes beneficial for the client to go to treatment further away from home. Getting away from temptations and friends who may still be using is often better for many people. Clients who go to rehab in another state also have a harder time leaving treatment early as well. Depending on the situation, our counselors may suggest looking for substance abuse programs that are a plane flight away. For most people, leaving for treatment can have more positives than negatives, especially now with the ability to video conference. One of the main objections for people leaving their area for treatment was family visitation. Family visitation and counseling can now be done through Zoom meetings and video conferencing, which has helped people open their options for treatment without missing out on family interactions.

For some people, leaving their area for an inpatient rehab center program can help them get away from temptations, people, places, and things that can be a hindrance to their recovery process. When a person totally immerses themselves in the treatment process, the results can be amazing. Sometimes, it takes leaving the area for a patient to feel comfortable enough to engage fully in their treatment program.
