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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Houston have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
