Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Union City, GA.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Union City offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
