Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Bar Mills, ME.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Bar Mills offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
