Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - West Baldwin, ME.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in West Baldwin have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug 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 completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
