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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Newcastle offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility 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.
