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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in McGehee have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
