Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - St. Marks, FL.

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 an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in St. Marks have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
