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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Ellijay offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only get short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
