Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Petersburg, AK.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab center. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for clients who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Petersburg offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most clients will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehab center is that many clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab program at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
