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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Washington have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
