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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Peru offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
