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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Manchester offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab center is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive 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 transition to a sober lifestyle.
