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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Perkins offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab center is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
