Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Alvin, TX.

Short Term substance abuse rehab 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 rehab is so short, it is a great financial option and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in Alvin have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation program is that many individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center 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.
