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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason can't endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab facilities in Poteet have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases 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 clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
