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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in North Waterford offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
