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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Merrillville offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially 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 treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that individuals 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 timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
