Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Fairbanks, AK.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Fairbanks offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be in 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 rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
