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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation centers in Sanford have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
