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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Sydney offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals 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 rehab program have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
