Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - West Farmington, ME.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   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 clients who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in West Farmington have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
