Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Burlington, ME.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Burlington offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that many clients 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 specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only go through short term treatment . People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
