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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Winthrop have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that people may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with clients who only get short term rehabilitation . Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
