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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Gray offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab center is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
