Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Columbia, CT.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Columbia have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only receive short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
