Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Decatur, TN.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Decatur 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 be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab facility have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
