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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Burnham offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
