Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Alakanuk, AK.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential treatment center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehabilitation centers in Alakanuk have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab center is that individuals may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

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