Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Atlanta, ID.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Atlanta have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning 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 while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
