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

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

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

Relapse rates are greater among people who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
