Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Longview, TX.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because treatment is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Longview offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab program is that individuals may still be experiencing the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
