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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

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

Relapse rates are understandably higher among clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
