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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Guilford have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center 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 stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
