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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

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

Relapse rates are understandably higher among people who only receive short term rehabilitation . People who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
