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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Richmond offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with people who only get short term rehab . Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
