Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Richmond, UT.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term rehab.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among clients who only receive short term treatment . People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
