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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in North Waterboro offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling 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. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
