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

Short Term drug rehab is a term used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so short, it is a great financial option in most cases and for people who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab programs in San Marcos offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation center is that people 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 timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
