Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Houghton, MI.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Houghton offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only get 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 rehab program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
