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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Penobscot have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many people 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.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only get short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
