Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Chester, MD.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Chester have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients 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 many clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with clients who only go through short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
