Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Covington, GA.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Covington offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
