Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Perth, ND.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Perth have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
