Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Richmond Hill, GA.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Richmond Hill have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility 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 stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
