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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Geraldine have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
