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

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Perham 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 be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
