Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Flat Rock, AL.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Flat Rock offer intensive 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 go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab program is that many people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
