Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Colorado City, CO.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Colorado City offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that many people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
