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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Doraville have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only receive short term rehab . People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
