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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Stockton offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief 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 drug and alcohol rehab center is that people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
