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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Metcalfe offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
