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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Bristol offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab center is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
