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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in New Gloucester offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
