Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Los Fresnos, TX.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation 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 drug rehab programs in Los Fresnos offer 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 experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
