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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Dover have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that many people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with individuals who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
