Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Belfast, ME.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Belfast offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab program is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher with individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab program 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.
