Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Harmony, RI.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because treatment 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 rehabilitation programs in Harmony offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility 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.
