Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Owls Head, ME.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Owls Head have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
