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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Wellington have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
