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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Gorham offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility is that people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
