Ask Cadabams!
Short-term rehabilitation is an intensive, time-bound program focused on immediate stabilisation of acute symptoms over several weeks. Long-term rehabilitation provides extended support over many months, focusing on deeper behavioural changes, community reintegration, and sustained recovery for more chronic conditions.
Yes, family involvement is highly encouraged. We offer family therapy and educational sessions to help family members understand the condition, improve communication, and learn how to provide effective support. A strong family support system is vital for lasting recovery.
Upon completion, we create a detailed discharge plan. This plan includes recommendations for outpatient therapy, support groups, medication management, and potential transition to a long-term care program if needed, ensuring a smooth continuation of the recovery journey.
Due to the intensive and structured nature of short-term rehabilitation, it is generally recommended that individuals take time off from work or school. This allows them to fully focus on their treatment and recovery without external pressures or stressors.
No, while it is very effective for substance use disorders, short-term rehabilitation is also designed for a wide range of acute psychiatric conditions like severe depression, bipolar episodes, and schizophrenia. The goal is to stabilise symptoms regardless of the underlying diagnosis.
