Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Atlanta, KS.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Atlanta offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with people who only receive short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
