Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Auburn University, AL.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for clients who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Auburn University have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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