Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Oakland, MS.

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

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Oakland offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially 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 clients may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
