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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Carbondale have intensive 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 people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab facility is that many individuals may still be in the beginning phases 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 individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with people who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
