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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Damascus have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
