Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Houston, DE.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Houston offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
