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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Harmony have 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 clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
