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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Shelby offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
