Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - St. George Island, AK.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in St. George Island offer intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term substance abuse rehab facility is that many people may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
