Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - London, OH.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in London have intensive 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 treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
