Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - East Greenwich, RI.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab program. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation facilities in East Greenwich offer 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 clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that clients 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 timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
