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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehab is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in South Bristol have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases 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 clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
