Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Portage, UT.

Short Term substance abuse rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse rehab that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably higher among people who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehabilitation program have a better chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
