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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Standish have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
