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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

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

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
