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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Scott offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility is that many individuals 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 timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
