Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Merrill, MI.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Merrill offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that clients 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 specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab program 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.
