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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Athens offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility 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 treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only go through 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 treatment facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
