Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - South Bay, FL.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in South Bay offer 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 clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be in the beginning 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 individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least 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.
