Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Barker, TX.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Barker offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
