Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Dowling, MI.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Dowling offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically 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 rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehabilitation center is that individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
