Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Van Buren, ME.

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

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Van Buren offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment 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 rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
