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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Birchwood have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which 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 services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among people who only go through short term rehabilitation . Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
