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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

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

Relapse rates are greater with clients who only get short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
