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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Decatur offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that many people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
