Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Alexandria, TN.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Alexandria have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab program is that many individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
