Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Whiteford, MD.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Whiteford offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that individuals may still be in the initial stages 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 while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
