Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Washington Depot, CT.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Washington Depot offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
