Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Stevenson, WA.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a term used for substance abuse treatment that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

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

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
