Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Maine, NY.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Maine have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among clients who only receive short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
