Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Amherst, CO.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehab.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only receive short term treatment . People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
