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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Etowah offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
