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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Dickson have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation . Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
