Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Elk City, OK.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehab.

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

Relapse rates are understandably greater among clients who only go through short term rehab 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 have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
