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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in Carlton offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among people who only receive short term treatment 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 rehabilitation program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
