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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Jefferson offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically 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 treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
