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

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who can't endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Oakland offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation facility is that many people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
