Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Girdwood, AK.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Girdwood offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short 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 and alcohol rehab facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
