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

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Shawmut have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab program is that many individuals may still be in 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 more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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