Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Childersburg, AL.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 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 clients who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Childersburg offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
