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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term treatment.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
