Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Thomaston, GA.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Thomaston offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
