Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - East Ellijay, GA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in East Ellijay have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized 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 individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
