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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

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

Relapse rates are understandably higher among individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
