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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Brooks have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program 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 stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
