Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - South Gardiner, ME.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in South Gardiner offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only go through short term rehab . Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
