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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Patten offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
