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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Burlington have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among clients who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an 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.
