Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Riverdale, GA.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Riverdale offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

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