Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Townsend, DE.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Townsend offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases 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 individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
