Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Albany, OK.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation programs in Albany offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
