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

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

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Pocahontas offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
