Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Galveston, IN.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Galveston offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center 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.
