Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Winterport, ME.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Winterport offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial stages 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 moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with people who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
