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

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

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in Oakland offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility 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 rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals 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 outpatient program or day treatment program have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
