Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Little Compton, RI.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

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

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
