Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Augusta, MT.

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Augusta offer 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 individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
