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

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Wheelock offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that many people may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with individuals who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
