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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Laurel offer 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 people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
