Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Black Hawk, CO.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Black Hawk have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
