Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Antlers, OK.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

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

Recidivism rates are greater among people who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
