Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Larsen Bay, AK.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean addiction treatment that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient treatment facility. Because treatment is not long, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab centers in Larsen Bay offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most clients will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that clients may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among clients who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
