Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Stamford, CT.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used for addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Stamford have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
