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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in East Wilton have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
