Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Watkins, CO.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Watkins offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than 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 higher among people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center 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.
