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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Limerick have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
