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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Richards offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that clients may still be experiencing the initial stages 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 individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only go through short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
