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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Bowdoin offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
