Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Pemaquid, ME.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Pemaquid have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
