Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Amherst, TX.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Amherst have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehab facility is that many people 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 treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
