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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Wiscasset have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
