Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - North Metro, GA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in North Metro 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 individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
