Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Braddock Heights, MD.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who can't endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Braddock Heights have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug rehabilitation facility is that people may still be in the beginning phases 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 clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

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