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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Elberta offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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