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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Austin have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab program is that individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only receive short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
