Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Allgood, AL.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
