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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

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

Relapse rates are understandably higher among people who only get 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 at least have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
