Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Islesford, ME.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Islesford offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
