Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Panhandle, TX.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used for addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Panhandle offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is that people may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are higher with individuals who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center at least have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
