Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Alpharetta, GA.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only get short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
