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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Elgin have psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many people may still be experiencing the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher among individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
