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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Dickens offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
