Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Biddeford, ME.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Biddeford offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among clients who only receive short term rehab . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
