Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Drasco, AR.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Drasco have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed 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 stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center 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.
