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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Skidmore offer group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehabilitation program is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then phase 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 progress in their new sober lifestyle.
