Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Whitefish, MT.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab centers in Whitefish offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab program is that people may still be in the beginning 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 individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab program have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
