Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Mount Airy, GA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Mount Airy have intensive 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 individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program 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 detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
