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

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation center. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab facilities in Wheeler have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug rehab program is that many people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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