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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used for addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Mercer offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that 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 specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with clients who only get short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab facility at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
