Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Upper Fairmount, MD.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Upper Fairmount offer intensive 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 people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
