Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Altamonte Springs, FL.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Altamonte Springs have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
