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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Cordele have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that people may still be in the initial 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 individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
