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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Georgetown have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically 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 rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
