Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - St. James City, FL.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in St. James City have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center 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 fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
