Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Alford, FL.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Alford offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program 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 timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
