Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Oxford, ME.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Oxford offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, 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 people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term rehab . People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
