Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Courtenay, ND.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Courtenay have 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 people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that individuals may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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