Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Oakland, AR.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

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

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
