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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in West Point have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably 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 center have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
