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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Longmont have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol 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 rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only receive short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
