Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Atlanta, NE.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Atlanta have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center 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.
