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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Salem offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program 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 completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
