Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Bath, ME.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Bath have 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 people will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
