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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Dunwoody have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that clients 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 rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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