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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Helen have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
