Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Dougherty, TX.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab facilities in Dougherty offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that many clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
