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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Canaan have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
