Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mountain Brook, AL.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Mountain Brook offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
