Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Alligator, MS.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Alligator have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially 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 substance abuse rehabilitation center is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
