Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Arlington, WA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Arlington offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
