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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Walpole offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher among clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center 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.
