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

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

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Athens offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which 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 rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an 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.
