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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Kennebunk offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
