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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Section have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short 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 rehabilitation program is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
