Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Huntsville, AL.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Huntsville have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only receive short term rehab . Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program 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.
