Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Dauphin Island, AL.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Dauphin Island offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab program is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial 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 timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
