Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Georgetown, DE.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Georgetown have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
