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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Monhegan have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases 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 and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
