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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Bridgton offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that many people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only go through short term rehabilitation . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
