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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Mertens offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that clients may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
