Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Freeport, ME.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Freeport offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially 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 rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases 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 clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least 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.
