Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Atlanta, IL.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 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 can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Atlanta have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
