Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Houston, MS.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Houston have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially 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 treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
