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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in South Thomaston offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab 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 completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with clients who only receive short term treatment . Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
